On my 98 GTP, the SC had a black fill plug that required a torx to remove it. Well that stripped so I ordered a new one, the one they sent is gold with an Alan head wrench removal. Will it still fit?

It should. Only one way to find out...go out and take the 30 sec it takes to install it.
It's quicker to go try it rather then waiting for a response on here.

That is odd that it was a torques bit. All the ones I have seen were alen head.

^^ yep asking a question on a forum when it takes a few seconds to find out is just silly. IF im stuck and cant figure out how to get the bolt out then i will ask but that dont happen very often.

I stripped mine on my genv too. I used the correct bit and everything.
Its in there so damn tight, I couldnt even drill it out.
I just plugged it with a screw and rtv

The only reason I asked before trying is because I don't want to Dremel the other one out and find that the other one doesn't fit, then be stuck without a plug.

You should be able to just look at it and tell if its going to fit or not. Have at it.

you do know they make a tool to remove stuck bolts like for the SC bolt?

Bolt extractor
Or just cut a slit and use a flathead

Dremel did nothing....I might run to auto zone and see if I can find an extractor

You should try again with sc being hot see if that let's it crack loose I had to jam a bigger Allen head in there to take mine out.

Car is gonna be junked cuz I can't get a damn plug out. Now metal shards will just be floating in my SC oil, just great
07-31-2013
Calm down
07-31-2013
Well it can't be good to have metal in the SC!
07-31-2013
why would you cut all the way through the plug?
try some heat, a plumbers soldering torch works good to warm up the snout around the plug, not the plug so much, the idea is to heat the outs side of the threads so they expand and the threads break free.

You freaking out about junking the car isn't going to fix the problem.
Stop driving it. Take the snout off and get the plug out. drain the sc oil first if possible. If you weren't prepared for something like this to potentially happen you shouldn't have attempt to get the screw out when it stripped.

Take a picture to...I have a feeling your not explaining the problem correctly.

We're all good! Dad saves the day by jamming a torx in with a hammer. Somehow. Haha I tried earlier but I guess he has a lucky touch! But the supercharger oil is surprisingly full. I am trying to take pics of something and put them on here. Is the best way to copy and paste a photobucket link?
07-31-2013
Copy and paste the [IMG] code here.
Go pops. You probably should of just jammed a bigger torx in there from the get go lol.
